i don't want to be emperor

"My lord, there are two people outside the door begging to see you." A servant stood outside the door and respectfully reported to Xi Muqian, "They said they came from the capital city and passed through Liangcheng, so they came here specially to visit your lord."

"See you." Xi Muqian waved his hand impatiently. He just got angry just now, so he didn't have time to meet irrelevant people.But just as the servant Ding Nuonuo responded and turned to leave, he seemed to have thought of something, stopped the servant again, and asked, "Did they say anything else?"

Hearing this, the servant immediately took out a letter from his cuff, and handed it to Xi Muqian with both hands: "They also gave me this letter, saying that as long as you read it, you will know who they are."

"Then you should hand over this letter to me immediately." Xi Muqian, who had controlled his temper, said as if reminding him, but it still made the servant break out in a cold sweat.

Xi Muqian didn't respond to the housekeeper Ding, and opened the envelope in his hand, but inside was not a letter, but a letter of appointment with a red seal.

When he saw the seal, Xi Muqian was already shocked. After he read the contents of the letter of appointment, he immediately put away the letter of appointment in his hand, walked quickly to the door, and at the same time told the housekeeper: "Hurry up and get ready, a distinguished guest is coming."

The butler immediately left in response, and the servant also reacted, and trotted quickly to come to Xi Muqian, leading him the way.Not long after, they came to the back door of the mansion together, opened the back door, and there were two people standing outside the door, a girl wearing a bamboo hat, and a boy with a smile on his face.

Xi Muqian just took a small look, then bowed to the young man and saluted: "Humble post, please refer to your lord."

"Lord Xi, you're being polite." The young man, that is, Qin Yi took a step forward, and with a modest support, Xi Muqian straightened up.After Xi Muqian raised his head, Qin Yi continued to politely say, "I hope you don't take offense when you visit rashly."

"My lord condescends to come here, it's a humble honor." As Xi Muqian said, he bowed and raised his hand, "The tea is already prepared inside, my lord, please come in and talk."

Qin Yi brought Gu Nianyun in happily, and after the two of them passed by him, Xi Muqian whispered to the servant by the door: "Don't tell anyone what happened just now."

The servant nodded in response, Xi Muqian left satisfied, and brought Qin Yi and Gu Nianyun to the living room.The butler is indeed an old man who has been with Xi Muqian for so many years. In just a few short words, he has already prepared refreshments for the guests, and it is not at all obvious that they were prepared hastily.

The three sat down as host and guest, Xi Muqian waited until Qin Yi and Gu Nianyun had both had a sip of tea, and then said: "I don't know if the imperial envoy is here, and I am far away from welcoming you. I hope you will forgive me."

"It was our hasty visit, so how could we blame the adults." Qin Yi said casually, and then got to the point, "By the way, when we entered the city, we saw the notice posted on the bulletin board. Is your son all right?"

"Lord Lao, remember that they are fine." Xi Muqian thanked, but he was thinking about the other party's purpose for bringing this up.

"Then, about the three thugs who broke into the mansion of Xi Zhifu at night, does Xi Zhifu have any clues?" Qin Yi revealed his target indifferently, "Why did they want to break into your mansion at night?"

Xi Muqian squinted his eyes subconsciously when he heard the words, and was a little startled in his heart. Could it be that the three people, could it be that the imperial envoy in front of him sensed that there was something wrong with him and sent him to investigate?If the person in front of him is really an imperial envoy, he can play tricks on him. As long as the other party doesn't catch his tell on the spot, he doesn't need to admit it, or even directly create some accidents for the other party, so that the other party has some troubles. No return, completely solve the problem.

However, the true identity of the imperial envoy in front of me is too special, and the power in the capital is too powerful. When that person is supporting the person in front of him, as long as he has some understanding of the power in the dark No one dared to attack him casually.

Although he was a little apprehensive, but after carefully reviewing his past actions, Xi Muqian was sure that he had always done things very cleanly, and absolutely did not leave any traces behind. He didn't need to be so worried at all.Thinking of this, Xi Muqian calmed down, with a bit of troubled look on his face: "I don't know about the lowly position, probably it's a strong man from somewhere else, and I don't know how the lowly level is a person, thinking that as a lowly level prefect, there must be many Gold, silver and jewelry, so I visited late at night, hoping to make a fortune."

"It's just that I have always been a clean and honest official in a humble position, and I don't have much money, and there is no gold or silver property in the house." Xi Muqian sighed, and there was a bit of indignation in his tone, "The gang of thieves probably did it because I didn't get anything, and in a fit of anger, I made a move on my poor wife and children. Now, although my wife and children are not in danger of life, they are still in a coma, which is really worrying me."

Hearing what he said, Qin Yi also naturally asked for a visit, Xi Muqian declined for a while, then agreed, and took Qin Yi and Gu Nianyun to see the condition of his wife and children.As Xi Muqian said, his wife and children are now in a coma, but their complexion is not bad, as if they will wake up at any moment.

After visiting the patient, it was almost noon, Xi Muqian naturally tried his best to invite the two of them to stay for a light meal, but under Qin Yi's evasion, he had to give up.

After returning to the inn, Gu Nianyun immediately asked Qin Yi: "Is there any problem with the prefect?" In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with the prefect's behavior just now, and it seemed very normal from the beginning to the end.However, he also knows that his sense of smell in this area is not very sensitive, especially for this old fritters in the officialdom, the thinking of a quack like him really cannot see through.

Although the little emperor is still young, he is very sensitive in this aspect, at least much stronger than him, so he asked the little emperor this question.

Qin Yi was very satisfied with his eagerness to learn, but he also came to a conclusion from the attitude of the other party, that he seemed to be acting too much in front of this guy, no, he had to hide his clumsiness.Thinking of this, Qin Yi shook his head slightly and said: "Until you find Hu Yin and the others, it's best not to make any conclusions about this magistrate. His name as a muddled magistrate is well known in Liangzhou Prefecture, even us who just Those who came to the city soon learned about him, and it was obvious that someone was manipulating him behind the scenes."

"As for whether the person behind the scenes is the magistrate, I don't know. It would be fine if it was someone else, but if he made his reputation known to everyone, then what is his plan behind the scenes?" , definitely not small."

Although Qin Yi felt that he was hiding his clumsiness by only saying these obvious things, but for Gu Nianyun, his analytical ability was already amazing. He obviously found out about the prefect's news, but No problem was noticed at all.

"Then what are we going to do next?" Gu Nianyun asked Qin Yi very calmly since he couldn't think of so much, so the thinking should naturally be left to others.

"Let's find the three of them first." Qin Yi laughed, "Your intelligence system should still be able to function."

Even if you can't, you can't deny it at this time.Gu Nianyun naturally nodded, then said goodbye and left, and went to do what he should do.

And after Gu Nianyun left, the black cat appeared out of nowhere, jumped to his side and squatted down, and said at the same time: "The prefect's house has a ghostly aura."

"A ghost?" Qin Yi showed an interested smile, "Is that ghost powerful? How does it compare to you?"

The black cat shook his head, and said very honestly: "I can't feel it from the breath, you have to beat it to know. Besides, besides the breath of the ghost, there is a Taoist priest in the prefect's mansion."

"Is the magistrate's wife and child's unconsciousness the work of a ghost or a Taoist priest?" Qin Yi asked.

"They only have the aura of fierce ghosts on them, so it should be the ghosts who succeeded." After thinking for a moment, the black cat replied, "But the problem is not that big, as long as someone who has practiced a little bit of Taoism, it should be easy to solve it. That Taoist priest It seems that the strength is not too weak, but it has not been done for a long time, so there must be something wrong."

"Let's do the same thing, let's get those three people back first." Qin Yi thought of something again, and touched his chin subconsciously, "Speaking of which, those three people have also been to the magistrate's mansion, With the ability of the little Taoist priest, he must have found the traces of the ghost. After the prefect searched the whole city, he couldn't find the slightest trace of the three people. Then the three of them must have been captured by the ghost. Bar."

The black cat was stunned, but after thinking about it, it felt that this was indeed a very likely thing to happen.But if this is the case, how are they going to find someone now?

It stands to reason that the person who tied the bell must be untied. In this case, you should go directly to the prefect Xi, or more precisely, the Taoist priest in the prefect's house, so that you can get some information about that ghost.With black cats around, I'm not afraid that they won't tell the truth.However, after the black cat took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the prefect's mansion, he found that the Taoist priest who was still in the mansion had disappeared.

Could it be that he noticed that there was one of them that could pose a threat to him?Although I don't know the strength of the opponent, but this vigilance is very rare.Could it be that he has done too many bad things, so he has always been in a state of confrontation, ready to run away at any time.
